"Beauty Is Only Skin Deep" A GOLD BRICK always looks good. It has to. Its promising appearance is its sole virtue. Looks alone will not sell goods today. Merchandise with a name the name of its maker has the call. For only the maker of worthy goods can long afford to advertise. At the High Court of Public Opinion any other sort is soon condemned. Wise merchants and manufacturers seek the good papers to tell the story of their wares. The Publishers seek the reputable advertising for the reader's guidance. The wellinformed buyer seeks news of good merchandise through the columns of the best papers. This proves the value of advertising. Neither advertiser nor publisher can prosper without YOUR patronage Therefore, it is to their advantage to cater to you. They do it, too.

Wide difference of opinion on the meaning of the board's abrogation order, which becomes effective July 1. was expressed by both employes and railroad representatives and the tangle was finally handed to the beard by both sides with a request for an interpretation. The complications began when W. S. Carter, president of the brotherhood of locomotive firemen and enginemen. finished some lengthy statistical testimony in the wage hearing now before the board in a conclusion again told that body "that the employes faced a serious situation." Yesterday other brotherhood heads disclaimed any responsibility of opposition developed to wage reduction and "a stoppage of traffic" resulted.

MEXICO IS OPPOSED , TO FORMAL. TREATY WITH UNITED STATES

tRy Associated Press) MEXICO CITY. June 9 Formal signature of a treaty between Mexico and the United States as a condition to recognition of the Obregon administration by Washington is impossible. said a statement issued at the presi dential office last night. President Obregon declined to meet newspapermen. Dut his private secretary. Ferj nar.do Torreblanca, said there was oimng io aaa to recent pronouncements by the Mexican government, and that the situation was not changed. At the same time a statement wai issued by the foreign office, declaring that a commercial treaty between the i United States and Mexico was desirjable, but that the Mexican president did not possess the right to conclude

a treaty of a political nature, such as was proposed by the United States in its recent memorandum to the Mexican government. Contained Two Sections "The treaty of amity and commerce proposed by the United States on Mav 27," said the statement, "contained two sections, one pertaining to commerce and the other regarding better political relations. The clauses relative to commerce would be acceptable after the making of some modifications and additions w hich would avoid later conflicts. "In the political phase, the American not was objectionable because it contained stipulations which were contrary to the precepts of the Mexican constitution, and which the president, who must, first of all, have regard'V for the constitution, has no power to accept. The constitution, in effect, prohibits expressly in article 15 the celebrating of conventions or treaties

j which may alter guarantees or rights established by the constitution.
